Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup liquid honey
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add the hot sauce, honey, and Cajun seasoning to the melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

For a milder sauce, use a mild hot sauce or reduce the amount. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To avoid separation, do not freeze. It's excellent as a glaze for grilled chicken, pork, or shrimp, or as a dip for fries and onion rings. Let the sauce cool completely before transferring to a storage jar to prevent condensation.
